JOAILLIÈRE

ABOUT

I’ve always had an interest for the arts and crafts.  Ancient techniques that have transcended time fascinate me. Working with my hands and seeing things changing under my fingers gives me an incredible feeling, almost addictive.

These passions led me to jewellery. Following my inclination, I graduated from l’École de Joaillerie de Montréal in 2014. Subsequently, I perfected my skills while working for a master jeweler with 40 years of experience. Making a living out of a millennium profession allows me to perpetuate a historical heritage, while adding a contemporary touch to it. In February 2015, I officially launched my first jewellery collection.

The duality of the human being and nature inspire me. Creating allows me to explore my own complexity and constantly forces me to face it. I find beauty in the union of chaos and geometry and those contradictions are reflected in my designs.

My desire is that people who wear my creations may express their inner duality by an external detail.
